Th8.5 What to upgrade in lab first??

[RandomClasher777]

Im going to be th9 in days and I plan on doing th8.5. However im stuck on what to upgrade first in my lab. I was thinking to do loons6 first while I get queen to 5 then hogs5 and heal6. The Hounds2 and witches2. However this would slow down my hero upgrades and im not sure what to do.
What would u upgrade in your lab as a th8.5 and in which order?? Thx

Depends what you plan to do, if you only war then the troops you chose sound good. I am a 8.5 kinda player. All def upgraded and bought but leaving the bows so that I do not have too much weight. But my first upgrade was Giants so that I can farm the rest easier. If you plan to go slow with other upgrades and stuff then war troops first, which as a 8.5 I would think about either loons or hogs first. However get queen to level 5 as quick as possible. She is kinda weak without ability.

How can u only war?? I wanna be able to upgrade my heroes so im going to have to farm de. I was thinking putting giants in after heal or something

Loons, hogs, golems, Lavahounds.
Remember, 8.5 is to be ranked better in Wars.

Hogs first - this means you have a weapon in war. If you do loons then you only have half an army as the hounds are still off in the distance as you would not have been able to complete the dark barracks upgrade in time.

So hogs heal giants loons hounds etc...

Do hogs first, it strengthens an army ur probably well aware of how to use, then work on the heal spell, Giants, and archers (elixir troops) while you are getting that queen to 5 and once she is there grind out golems and witches. I wouldn't recommend doing dogs or loons because of how much nerf the air attack got with the sweepers.
